LSU football fans should feel better after hearing Gus Malzahn’s words this week.
It didn’t take long for LSU football‘s biggest weakness to pop up this season.
Defense.
The Tigers hired Bo Pelini — a former head coach at Nebraska and Les Miles’ defensive coordinator in Baton Rouge from 2005-07 — this past offseason to replace Dave Aranda as LSU’s defensive coordinator.
Head coach Ed Orgeron was extremely excited about the move, even proclaiming at one point during the offseason that LSU was “so much better” on defense than they were at any point during the 2019 season.
